Well, I agree that you don't necessarily save money, but it depends
how you shop. We save lots on gas, and on cheeses and other
perishables. There are some things we get there that we don't find
elsewhere, and so in a way it's not saving money, because we wouldn't
buy it otherwise, but we get it at a discount and buy it rarely. We
only shop there, probably quarterly, but we use the gas station a lot.
We are thinking of letting our membership go, though, because between
the grocery outlet and the cash and carry, we get nearly everything that
we could find at Costco, we can get there also and for the same or less
money, without a membership. Our Fred Meyer also gives you a 10 cent
per gallon discount for every $100 you spend, and we shop the most
there, so now we're finding that we can beat the gas price, too.
